184728539Boston: Published by the Author 1847. Original printed wrappers stitched 32pp. Wrappers chipped repair to front wrap no text loss else Very Good.<br/><br/> An early scarce and unusual radical critique of American capitalism. Apologists for Negro slavery would echo this New England condemnation of the free labor system. The author says wage labor in America is "worse than things at the South."<br/> The League attributes "the evils which oppress and burden the men and women of New England" to "a vicious social organization." America is "but one remove from.the Feudal state. Labor and capital are in direct antagonism. Or rather that labor is passive while capital wages a ceaseless war a guerilla war at least upon it cutting off its resources whenever it is possible. Instead of standing upon an equal footing with capital and being able to treat with it upon an equal basis it stands in the market-place like a slave." The author and the League urge the "Organization of Labor and the Association of Laborers whereby they shall work for themselves and not for another and receive the Profits of their own Labor." <br/>Sabin 15187.

This printed version appears to be unrecorded though we do find mention of it in an issue of The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy from the same year. Wright blames the increase in crime in the United States to the arrival of "unworthy and undesirable immigrants" and argues that the answer is "sterner and more repressive lines" in prison discipline as a deterrant.
